Anyone else in their 2ww?

[alixxx1]

Hi all,

Is there any others currently in their 2ww?

OH works away so we could only DTD 2-3 days before O. So I don't know whether I'm that hopeful. Plus it's our first month trying for #2.

So is there anyone else currently waiting and we can support each other through the wait? I'll be 10dpo on the 22nd which would be amazing if I get a positive as it will be a year on from a loss.

Babydust to all x

Hi all.

I'm 9DPO and for some bizarre reason felt the urge to test this morning but I managed not to.

I only have Clearblue digital and similar style Boots tests in the house. I assume there's no point in using these ones until my period is due, as I've read here that they're not very sensitive in comparison to others?

This might help keep me stop testing if I know there's genuinely no point until the weekend.

@Fifi1086 I just checked my app and I had dizziness at 9DPO so you never know! Then felt a bit fuzzyheaded for a few days. I don’t think I noticed how fuzzy I was until today when it’s completely lifted. My sore throat has disappeared too.

I’ve been getting AF like cramps all afternoon, sometimes quite strongly. Combined with the loss of symptoms, it feels like I’m on my way out.. AF could be due tomorrow or Thurs. I took a Boots cheapie a few hours ago and there is still a line, but that could just be hcg still in my system. I don’t think I’ll test again unless AF doesn’t show up for a few days. Not sure I could bear to see the lack of line now - I’ll just let my body tell me instead.

Sigh... anyone else got happier news to share?? Please!

@Lowkeyloopy you poor thing, although the one thing I remember from my first pregnancy is the awful cramps in the first few weeks! I had the EPU tortured! So may not be bad news as cramps are totally normal at the beginning. If you've got a like on a boots test and it's not even past AF yet I'd say you're good!

@Somatronic did you manage to stay away from the tests after that?

Hey girlies! How're we all doing!

@Lowkeyloopy I can 100% see lines on your pics so I have everything crossed that they start to darken now. 🤞🤞

@Fifi1086 sorry about your tricky line. I've had a fair few of those and know how annoying they can be!!!

@JCQ2021 how have you resisted the urge to POAS?? You're super woman!

So I am on cd26 and have been having 31 day cycles. I have done a cheap test and got a BFN but as I've mentioned before it depends on whether Flo has my ovulation date correct as she readjusted last month when my cycle was longer and this month she only has me down for a 29 day cycle which I don't think it'll be therefore meaning her predicted ov date is wrong! Soooo... I'm going to stop being a crazy lady and stop testing until the weekend (she says) as I know full well that when I have #1 I didn't show on a test until I'd missed AF !!

@NW2021 how are you feeling? The tiredness is a killer and I'm afraid it sticks around for a while but it will pass I promise! Make the most of being able to nap when you want 🤣

Morning Ladies!!

Sorry taken me a while to reply, I’ve tried to limit my time on mumsnet. Being first time pregnant and so early I’m starting to get a bit anxious because I’ve read so much about what can go wrong these first weeks. Reading all the different stories is making me a bit paranoid something is going to go wrong 🙈

@Somatronic well done for holding out testing! Got everything crossed for you!

@Lowkeyloopy my cramps at times have been really strong but I’ve read it’s nothing to worry about it’s just body preparing apparently? I haven’t tested since Friday, didn’t no if I should or not? I’ve decided to do the same and just let my body do it’s thing.

@JCQ2021 How you feeling today? Any sign of AF?

@1littlewren keep positive! I think like you. Said if you’re only CD26 out of 31 day cycle still plenty of time for bfp to show! 🤞🏻

@Fifi1086 how you feeling? It’s so annoying those tricky lines! You waiting to test again?

@NW2021 Thanks but I caved and tested this morning haha. I noticed acne along my jaw last evening and googled it and of course (like most things, in fairness) acne is down as a symptom of early pregnancy.

Anyway it was negative of course but at least it's put me off testing for a while.

Hope you're feeling well!

Hey all. Woke up dizzy and crampy this morning with sore boobs. I've just had a light bleed so fully expecting AF to arrive, pretty devastated. I wasn't expecting it because my temp is still up as is my RHR and I'm only 9dpo. Really disappointed

@Fifi1086 if you are only 9dpo I wouldn’t rule yourself out yet, the symptoms you describe could be implantation?

@NW2021 I don’t blame you for stepping away, I did far too much googling in the early days with my DD. It’s not helpful but that wait to the scan is tormentingly long. I hope you are keeping well though.

Wishing everyone who is due to test soon lots of luck!

I’m on cd15, my app predicts ovulation for the weekend based on my long cycle but I’m starting to notice some signs so trying to dtd as frequently as possible without stressing out my poor DH. I’ve told him that ovulation is next week to take some of the pressure off

@Randomness12 I don't know, I had a light bleed when I posted that earlier and then nothing since til just now. It was bright red this time but not full flow. I'm expecting it to arrive in the morning 😔 hope my luteal phase isn't gonna be short every month

Hi ladies! Sorry I disappeared for a couple of days.

@1littlewren I have tested today and aBFN. I am on 16dpo very long cycle for what I am used to. I have very mild cramps that I barely feel but, possibly AF is coming now. My temps plummeted this morning to 36.50, but I am feeling well, just no appetite. I was feeling awful 2 days ago with a horrible Nausea and headache that I had to go to bed early.

@NW2021 I am well, just still not sure about my cycle this month 😂...AF is being very naughty with me. I am just preparing myself for the arrival today. I forgot to mention that I also had a little spotting when I wiped this morning, jus tiny bit of brown. I am already organising next month and adding items to the list, vitamins and OPKs just to be prepared and face the next month with a very positive attitude. I feel that is the best way!

This month I had all kind of strange symptoms I never had before, so now I can be more aware of them for next cycle! I have to understand them better so they don’t affect me too much. I do think I ovulated late this month, my cycles are not normally 30 or 31 days. So, best attitude for the next month, my DH is very supportive and he is also thinking about it lol...happy days!!! 💗💃🏻

How are you ladies doing today? Any more BFP??

Hi all!

How're we all doing?

@Lowkeyloopy how are you???

@JCQ2021 did AF arrive?? I'm waiting for her to arrive for me. CD29 day and predicted day according to Flo but last month was a 31 day cycle so we shall see.

@Fifi1086 any more bleeding?

@Randomness12 hope you're enjoying your FW 😜

@NW2021 how are you?

Hi all, sorry for silence! Not deliberately taking a step back - just an absolutely mental week at work. 11pm finishes 😴 Fortunately the famous tiredness that everyone talks about hasn’t kicked in for me yet, so am doing ok!

AF now 2-3 days late, I got a pretty strong line on a FRER on Wednesday, so am going to take a digital on Sunday. The worry of a chemical is always there... but I’m trying to be positive! The main symptom I’ve had is cramping - feels a bit like AF is coming but it’s intermittent and not as severe - no hot water bottle needed. I’m quite a crampy person, so not a huge surprise that my uterus would make itself known if it was busy doing something!

Otherwise I have been quite thirsty in the mornings in particular, and my sense of smell is really heightened - a few things have made me retch a bit. Whereas my DP suddenly smells amazing! I‘ve weirded him out a bit going in for extra hugs to get a whiff, haha.

Only other thing has been light blue veins on boobs! Oh and for a few days my pulse was so loud I could hear it in my mouth when I was lying down! Something to do with blood volume going up.

@Fifi1086 Got my fingers crossed for you that that was implantation bleeding. Any update today? Hope you’re doing ok.

@JCQ2021 sorry you’ve been feeling unwell but that kinda sounds positive too! Fingers crossed for you too but great you are being proactive and positive about next month too!

@NW2021 Hope you’re doing well chick! Have you lined up a midwife appointment yet? I think I’ll call on Monday.

@1littlewren how are you doing? Planning to test tomorrow?

Evening ladies!

@1littlewren I’m all good today, had a horrid one yesterday absolutely drained and hormonal (could of cried in work at how busy/tired I was, I sound like a drama queen I know) but after 10hrs kip last night I’m like a new women today 😂
Have you tested yet? 🤞🏻 Any sign of Af?

@JCQ2021 did Af make a show?

@Fifi1086 how you feeling today? Hope it was implantation bleeding for you and not Af!

@Lowkeyloopy I’m all good today, 5 weeks today, the week has gone so slow! 😂 feels like months ago I took a test only been a week! Going to take my last digital tomorrow hoping for my 3+. Sorted my midwife appointment for a week on Tuesday I’ll be over 6 weeks then.
Just a waiting game now!

@1littlewren keeping everything crossed for you!

@NW2021 and @Lowkeyloopy I'm so happy that everything is going well for you both and hope it continues to!

Unfortunately for me it was AF. I was devastated but I'm ok now. I'm going to take soya isoflavones this month to try bring ovulation forward, it seems I've a 29 day cycle no matter how late I ovulate so want to do my best to bring it forward

Morning all. AF arrived today. 30 cycle as I thought it might be. Ov date moved again. Feeling a little disheartened today but onwards and upwards.

Sorry to hear that @1littlewren be kind to yourself today and then all steam ahead for this cycle 😊

Sorry to hear that @1littlewren @Fifi1086

I’m not sure where I am in my cycle, far too much tmi but I’ve had the pre-ovulation sign le but no sign yet of the EWCM and today is cd18.

Trying to dtd every other or every couple of days to try and catch it! I’m thinking about doing OPK next month to try and get a better idea of what going on.

Sorry that it didn't happen this month @Fifi1086 and @1littlewren.

I expect to be joining you in the next few days.

I'm 13DPO. Got a BFN this morning. I've had weird cramps yesterday evening and today like mild menstrual cramps which I assume are the start of my period but no sign yet. It's due tomorrow or Monday. I don't think I usually get pains this far in advance but maybe I don't pay as much attention usually. It could be because I'm on Clomid for the first time too.

So sorry to hear that @Fifi1086 and @1littlewren - onwards and upwards for next month. I know this sounds totally lame and silly and maybe isn’t helpful, but it’s spring, the sun is shining (hopefully where you are too!) and everything is starting to feel a bit more positive in the world... your times will come very soon! Just look after yourselves and stay as relaxed as possible!

I’m not out of the woods yet, and won’t be for a while, but I’m feeling very fortunate atm and so wish it was possible to pinpoint the one thing that did it for me in case it’s helpful for someone. Lockdown/wfh seriously improved my diet over the last 10 months because it gave me more time to focus on what I ate - I eat loads of fruit and veg now and DP and I have been veggie for about 6 months, which made us both feel more energetic and healthy. Or was is the Pregnacare? Or the yoga? Or was it the PreSeed (which we didn’t like!). Or was it DTD 7 times in 6 days and exhausting ourselves?! 😂 Tbh I think it was just that last one - we didn’t let any of the fertile window go uncovered... and I raised my hips on a pillow for about 15 minutes after each time (TMI soz), which the internet says is rubbish, but a friend said the cycle that worked for her is the cycle she did that, so I tried it!

Anyway, silly ramble over.

Fingers crossed for you @Somatronic - I’be had loads of cramps for over a week now I think, but it seems like they’re all associated with implantation as AF hasn’t showed.

The tiredness hit today @NW2021! There I was all smug thinking it wasn’t going to happen..! We went for a walk and I came back and immediately had a very deep nap!

Well my period arrived a day early. Hopefully I will have better luck next month. Mostly I'm dreading having to take Clomid again next week because the side effects are horrible

@Fifi1086 @1littlewren @Somatronic damn AF!! So sorry af arrived ladies! 😔 hope you all managed to get out in the sunshine today and be kind to yourself. Lots of chocolate needed!

@Lowkeyloopy One thing I did the same as you is get my legs up vertical after DTD on the day i ovulated (which I think is the day I conceived according to my app) I know it’s an old wives tale but is always worth a short! It’s the first time I tried it as well. Just didn’t move for about 10mins after with legs & hips up in the air 😂
How far gone are you at the moment? I can’t remember if you’re the same or ahead as me? I’m 5 weeks today. Still very early days as well but got my 3+ on my digital this morning so I’m happy 😊
The tiredness just wipes you out doesn’t it! I was ok yesterday and thought I had loads of energy today but struggling to keep my eyes open currently!

I’m sorry @Somatronic, I hope you are ok.

I’m keeping up the pretence of thinking ovulation is next week here, seems to helping on the pressure front although still no EWCM so no clue what’s happening here. I was expecting it to be today but nothing yet. Probably means I’m on for a very long cycle again (last was 34 days) so I’m not holding out much hope this month.

Hi girls,

I don't know if anyone of you remembers me from last month, January.

Last month was unsuccessful. I just felt I had to take a step back from the thread as it was driving me crazy a bit hehe and I needed to relax.

My period was due yesterday but didn't come. I was absolutely convinced I couldn't be pregnant as I have literally 0 symptoms ( breasts aren't tender or bigger), no cramping, no nausea, no nothing. I feel completely normal.

Also, I took a pregnancy test 3 days ago, on Thursday, and it was negative.

Well, my test this morning was positive!!! I had to take 2 tests to make absolutely sure and my partner peed on a test as well to make sure they aren't faulty.

I'm honestly so happy! :)) I know it's very early on and a lot can still go wrong, but I'm so excited.

I also started to take Vitamin D this cycle, not in order to conceive but to boost my health, as I read most people are deficient and that it can protect you against Covid. So maybe that played a part, I don't know!

I wish all the other ladies good luck in their ttc journeys and congratulations on all the bfp I missed in my absence. xxx

@hotpotlover congratulations!!

I'm looking for other eyes to look over my HCG test, taken this morning, 10dpo. Myself and partner can see a line but also want to see a line so it might not be there?
